title: Tetra-butyl-ammonium butyl-tetra-chlorido-stannate(IV).
abstract: In the title compound, [N(C4H9)4][Sn(C4H9)Cl4], the Sn(IV) atom of the stannate anion has a trigonal-bipyramidal coordination sphere by two Cl atoms and one butyl chain in the equatorial plane and by two Cl atoms in the apical positions. Two of the four butyl chains of the tetra-butyl-ammonium cation are partially disordered, each with refined site occupancies of 0.691 (6):0.309 (6). Weak C-H⋯Cl hydrogen-bonding inter-actions help to consolidate the crystal packing, as well as a short Cl⋯Cl inter-action of 3.295 (2) Å.
